I lived thru the hippie movement. They were trying to save the country, well, most were. Didn’t agree with them at the time but I understood their message. But the Hamas protests are far, far different. Either American education has reached a point where we are graduating totally ignorant people and these mush-head protestors are just completely uninformed about their message and goals, or they have completely lost their little silver-spoon entitled, Gucci shoe minds. Regardless, I wonder if any of them, even one, has incurred the wrath of their parents for their shocking ignorance and been cut off from further financial support? I guess I would feel a minuscule better about humanity if I thought at least some of the parents were not on board with it. I cannot believe we are at a place in our history where so many privileged young people are so blatantly wrong. Are their parents all-in with this anti-human and utterly disgusting display of hatred? If so then God help us.
Read that some parents were present at the protests doling out food and sundries for their spawn.
The 60’s protests were also fueled and instigated by Communist/Marxists, laying the foundations in the university systems for where we’ve come to today. Not so much about “saving America” at all.
Their parents were probably 60s demonstrators too. Might run in the family. Parents are also very liberal. That's how the kids got into Columbia in the first place. Take away their school loans so the parents have to pay. No loan forgiveness ever too. No government jobs either. Red states could do that right now. You can't get in the military if you've got a criminal record so the die is cast.
Dennis, you’re probably right. I just find it terribly sad that so many kids who have the world by the tail can be so ignorant and wrong. They don’t seem to understand what anti-American means. If they understood how lucky they are to be attending an elite school while so many other bright kids cannot do the same, I don’t see how they could protest for hate. Maybe we are close to our Roman moment today.
Many have probably never been disciplined. Pain is a great teacher. I told you guys before that as a young lad that I whizzed on an electric fence. Never did that again!

Haha— “spawn”!
